Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 8 large eggs
- ¾ cup bacon crumbles
- 2 cups frozen hash browns
- 1½ cups milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 baking pan to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
2. Make the Biscuit Base
In a small bowl, mix together the Bisquick mix, ⅔ cup of milk, and melted butter. Drop the biscuit mixture by teaspoons into the prepared pan. Don’t worry about covering the entire pan—the mixture will spread as it bakes.
3. Add the Hash Browns
Evenly sprinkle the frozen hash browns over the biscuit mixture. This layer adds a delightful texture and heartiness to the dish.
4. Whisk the Eggs
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1½ cups of milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour this mixture evenly over the hash browns.
5. Add the Bacon
Sprinkle the bacon crumbles evenly over the egg mixture. The smoky flavor of the bacon pairs perfectly with the creamy eggs and fluffy biscuits.
6. Bake
Bake the dish uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return it to the oven for a couple of minutes, just until the cheese melts.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Let the Biscuit Egg Bake cool slightly before serving. Slice into squares and serve immediately for a warm, comforting brunch dish.
Recipe Notes
- Protein Options: Substitute diced ham or 1 pound of cooked and drained sausage for the bacon.
- Vegetable Add-Ins: Customize the dish with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, spinach, or any other veggies you love.
- Cheese Choices: Change up the cheese by topping it with Pepper Jack or add a touch of smokiness with a smoky gouda cheese.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the dish the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. In the morning, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
